Do javelins have more range than axes when thrown? I've noticed axes have horribly bad range...

javs = better range
axes = bigger stacks

definitely need that range imo if you're planning to pvp with a thrower.

Do knives have anything for them :grin:
bah, i find the axes have bad range even in pvm... its like what, range 10? a char using a polearm could reach half the distance and do twice the damage... and you're way to close in...

Well iirc the top throwing weapons for a baba are eth lacerators, eth warshrieks, and i do believe up'd eth deathbits (or maybe the bits are pvm only). Although eth Gargoyle's Bite and eth Deamon Arch's are rather nice too.

eth compact cruel fools/masters of alarcity, self-replenish, and transcendance(max damage) rare would be godly too...

Yeah the unique throwing spears have pretty crap stats. Warshrikes with pierce and lacerators with amp, both with self rep, are the way to go for pvm. I made one in SP using a 1.07 razortail (50% pierce instead of 33%) was pretty good.

But if you're imbueing eths I recommend harpoons. You can always upgrade to winged harpoons but if you get one with good mld stats (something like kings+ferocious+quickness+self rep) it will be godly not just ok and can always cube up to elite if worth it. As far as imbueing for a chance of getting something better than a unique, eth throwing spears are right up there imo.
